Hello srikanth,

humm.... Ubuntu is under x86 & 64bits for desktop & server, but not for arm
processor.
You need to recompile all paquets.
You can find the sources her : http://archive.ubuntu.com/
I think that's every simple to use debian (emdebian)
Regard's,

repositories for debian lenny

Hello sri,

Yes ... I've look your post (and I wait a response from Coburn64 for the
config kernel).

For you ...
I think that's your /etc/securretty. Have you the ttySAC0 into inittab and
securetty ?

Or, you can check directly the files with booting with param "noinitrd" in
your bootargs, and change init=/yourscript by init=/bin/bash or sh.

I have testing, and all works.
Also you have a good tutorial in this url :

Hi ellion,

INIT: Id "TO" responding too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

do u know what needs to be done.

thanks in advance,
sri.

hi ellion88,
            I finally tried to login but it say /lib/modules failed to load
and I tried to check ifconfig command then I get this messgae /lib/modules
loading failed

and apt-get also dosent work it say fetch failed from
http://ftp.de.debian/pool 

I also tried to update repositories using 
apt-get update (doesnt work) and apt-ket update doesn't work

reards,
sri.

Hello sri,

Look in your /lib/modules if you have the good kernel installed.
For exemple : 
If you recompile a kernel version 2.6.32.x you need have the folder
/lib/modules/linux2.6.32.x/ in your partition SD card.

For apt-get : you can use only if you are connected.

For check if i have a good binary into my distribution, or if I have good
compiled my prog, I use 'ldd' tools.

for example : #mini2440>ldd /bin/sh
for you, you can test with ldd /pathtoapttools/apt-get

regards,

ellion
